Welcome to "Orchard Cottage," our beautifully renovated and tastefully designed garden retreat, located in the prestigious suburb of Newlands. This fully self-contained studio offers complete privacy with its own entrance, secure off-street parking, and exclusive outdoor space featuring a six-seater table and barbecue facilities. Equipped with an inverter, a fully fitted kitchen, DSTV, and Netflix, it’s perfect for both short- and long-term stays. Guests also enjoy shared access to a sparkling swimming pool for a refreshing dip. Please note that while the cottage is a tranquil retreat, we kindly ask that no more than four visitors pop in at a time to maintain the peaceful ambiance for everyone. Our goal is to provide every guest with an unforgettable experience of comfort and relaxation.
Norah and I absolutely love creating a warm and inviting space for our guests. As a passionate gardener and self-proclaimed homebody, I find joy in the simple pleasures of life, like tending to my garden or enjoying a quiet cup of tea outdoors. Hosting gives me the opportunity to share that same sense of comfort and tranquility with others. I strive to make every guest feel at ease and excited about their stay, starting with a heartfelt welcome message and going the extra mile to ensure their experience is memorable
Nestled on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, Newlands is affectionately known as Cape Town's 'green' suburb. Just 15 minutes from the city centre, this leafy, upscale neighborhood borders the renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and is close to the tranquil Newlands Forest. The area boasts a vibrant culinary scene, with several acclaimed restaurants featured in the Eat Out guide, alongside charming coffee shops and bistros perfect for informal lunches, business meetings, or a leisurely morning tea. Newlands' natural beauty makes it an ideal spot for a scenic stroll or jog, with a picturesque stream just a short walk from the cottage. For those with a vehicle, I provide secure, undercover off-road parking. Alternatively, Uber is a convenient option, with an average wait time of less than five minutes.
